Abstract

 

In my talk I would like to survey some results on the divisibility of class numbers of quadratic number fields. In particular, I would like concentrate on the problem of getting an upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields whose class number is divisible by a given integer with field discriminant is bounded by a large real number.
